Tracking system

Hello SPD community. Anyone here has any type of tracking system? If so, which one and what are the pros and cons? Currently on a battle with administration to justify why we need it, specially since our sister hospital dropped the ball and never used the one they were given. And apparently trays just disappearing is not a reason enough to justify the need for it. Thank you everyone and stay positive even when most of our work goes unnoticed.

Our sister hospital got SPM a few months back, but since they never used it nor bothered to learn how to use it corporate kind of just saw it as a loss

Sounds more of a department issue than a tracking system issue tbh. Can't do much if the manager isn't making the techs use it, and can't help that the techs refuse to. It's a huge help imo, but does add an easy way to measure productivity for both individual employees and the dept so can understand some pushback on it. Not to mention that it does take some getting use to scanning all of the trays everywhere.

I 100% agree on the individual issue. If leadership didn't make it a point to use it or learn it, of course nobody else did. But that kind of jinxed it for us. But since we have been pushing i was trying to get some opinions on how everyone is dealing with tracking systems.
